“It doesn't matter where we're from, we all have to stick together and help each other out as performers and as human beings.”
“I don't know what happens at radio as far as what is that X factor that makes a song click and have people get connected to it when it's in another language.”
“It's a beautiful thing to be involved with the Special Olympics.”
“I never like to get ahead of myself. I'm not one of those people that do that.”
“In my player, I have a Luis Miguel CD as well as a Brian McKnight CD. I'm known for my very romantic ballads as well as the fun, up-tempo pop songs.”
“As an artist, you keep learning. You draw out different parts of you.”
“It's crazy because I was 10 years old when 'Macarena' was all over the place, and I remember looking at it from a different point of view. I remember culturally how important that song was, even though people didn't really know what they were saying. It was more about the dance and the movement of it and the cultural side of it.”
“My daughter is my number one fan. She has always been incredibly supportive, and she tells like it is and how it is.”
“When you're singing about love stories, which is most of my songs, it's good to have a lot of information and to have a different point of view.”
“I am 100% proud Puerto Rican but have lived two-thirds of my life in the United States. So, there will be some things I write in English, but my main way of conversing with my audience is in Spanish because, at the end of the day, I'm a Latino.”
“I'm still the same guy who gets in front of the mic and just sings.”
“My genre is the pop ballad with a touch of R&B.”
“My style has a lot to do with where I've been brought up. I've lived half my life in Puerto Rico and the other half in Florida, so I listen to music in English as well as Spanish.”
“I wrote 'Despacito' with my guitar, but where you can tweak a lot is in the production.”
“Each album always has its own sound.”
“I'm going through a beautiful stage in my life. I've learned about love, about life, about everything.”
“I definitely try to be myself and not try to imitate other performers. That's why I got my music degree. I wanted to be prepared and not be a 'product.' I want people to know that I'm not only a singer but a musician as well. I studied guitar, piano, and composition. I believe that it's just about being myself on and off stage.”
“Performing on Broadway is an honor and a challenge for any artist.”
“You kind of grow up and evolve in everything you do.”
“'Despacito' started with a melody hook that I had with my guitar only. The beat for this track came after I wrote the lyrics, which I wrote as if I was writing a ballad.”
